The Bonne Bay area provides unique opportunities to learn marine science due
to unequaled diversity of habitats, marine plants, fish and invertebrates. This
diversity cannot be matched anywhere else in northeastern North America. Courses
are designed to utilize the natural laboratories of the ocean and adjacent
lands. You can expect to spend a great deal of time outdoors and in small boats.
Lectures provide all necessary theoretical frameworks. Students typically live
on site in our comfortable residence.

Students use small boats to access various habitats, to learn sampling
techniques and to develop practical skills. Students are encouraged to use small
boats to increase their experience as safe boat handlers. We provide basic
theoretical and practical boating instruction so that students meet Canadian
Coast Guard standards.
